HISTORY OF THE
PHŒNIC CLUB
Its Grand Appearance in
the Recent Ratifi
cation.
CURRY AN ORGANIZER.
By His Magnetism He Rises
Into Power and Promi
nence.
OTHER ABLE ASSISTANTS.
The. Executive Officers Generally Sus
tained by the Club Mem
bers.
Thus? of our citizens who -watched the
Republican procession as it passed up
Market street last Saturday night were
impressed with the Bplendid appearance
The Originator (C. F. Curry) and the Principal Officers of the Phoenix Republican Club, Organized in
1890 and Now Kindled Into Activity for the Campaign of 1896.
of the Phoenix Club as that body of men
marched four abreast behind a band of
music which discoursed patriotic airs.
The Phoenix Club in some sense is very
much like the fabulous bird from which it
derives its name.
It has, aince its origin, risen up with
that spontaneity accredited to the bird of
mythology. Within a few weeks the
Phoenix Club assumed shape and be
came one of the living forces about to ex
ercise its power and influence in the com
ing campaign.
In 1890 the Phoenix Club first made its
appearance as a political factor in the
Republican ranks. Its creation is due to
Charles Forrest Curry, a young man, a
native of this City, and one of those en
dowed with the qualities of a leader.
Mr. Curry believes in the principles of
the Republican party, and with this be
lief there is no such thing as shaking
his loyalty to the party or the party
leaders.
The qualities possessed by this young
man brought bim to the front with
his youthful friends and they urged
his nomination before the leaders of the
party for the office of Recorder in 1886.
But* the tden leader, W. T. Higgins,
thought him too young for such a
responsible office as that of Recorder
for a big city iike San Francisco. But
he did yield to the wishes of the party
and permitted him to be nominated for
th« Assembly for the then Thirty-sixth
District.
This was looked upon as an attempt
to shelve the rising young man's politi
cal ambition, from the fact that the
Thirty-sixth Assembly District at that
time was Democratic by a large ma
jority and the idea of nominating a school
boy for the Assembly from that district
was considered a huge joke by the Demo
crats.
But when the votes were counted and
it was found that young Curry bad been
elected by a sweeping majority over his
Democratic opponent the laugh was on
tue other side. Even good - natured
Bill Higgins admitted his astonishment
and coniessed that he had made a mistake
in estimating the caliber of young Curry
nnd the propelling power of las Inends,
foremost among whom is his chief deputy,
Harry Piper— also one of the bright young
men of San Francisco.
The record made by this young man in
the session of the Legislature of 1887 was
not only brought to the notice of the local
politicians In this City but gave Him a
State reputation whicii was recognized by
General Sam ttackua when President Har
rison appointed him Postmaster of this
City. He placed Mr. Curry in charge
of that very important branch station
near the new City Hall. At the Repub
lican State Convention of 1694 he had the
nomination for Clerk of the Supreme
Court within his grasp, but at the re
quest of some of his friends he permitted
another to get it.
When the principal convention assem
bled in San Francisco a few months later
he was offered the nomination for County
Clerk, which he accepted, and he was
ejected by a handsome majority.
This otfi.-e he haß filled and" conducted
with his usual ability. Besides this he has
turned more money into the City treasury
during his term as County Clerk" than any
of his predecessors.
Such is the character and political stand
ing of the founder of the Phoenix Republi
can Club.
Yet, however able a man may be, he
cannot form a club. To do this he-must
have men, and those men must, in order to
succeed, be in perfect accord with their
principal. Such were the men who
associated themselves with this young
leader. Among them may be mentioned:
fciX-Connrressman John T. Cutting, ex-
Harbor Commissioner C. O. Alexander, ex-
State senator and ex-District Attorney J.
N. E. Wilson, J. C. Quimi, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, Dr. J. H. Healy, Superin
tendent of the City and County Hospital,
Colonel J. M. Lite U field, Supervisor Cof
fey, Judge G. H. Bahrs. District Attorney
Barnes, and his first lieutenant and chief
of staff T. McDermott, chief engineer in
the United States Mint under General
Dimond; and next to him the shrewd
politician, M. H. Smith.
Whiie some of the old boys have dropped
out of active club politics new blood" has
been infused into the club in the per
son of Colonel T. V. Eddy, WOO i* a
born orator. Its secretary, Andy W.
Branch, besidas being a first-class secre
tary, is an orator of no mean ability, as is
shown by his being sent out by the Re
publican State Central Committee to
speak on the stump for four successive
campaigns.
Secretary Branch studied law in the
office of M". If. Estee and was admitted to
practicb by the Supreme Court. In his
capacity of secretary he acquitted himself
to the honor of his friends and his own
credit in the Legislature for three sessions.
His last experience in this line was with
the municipal convention two years ago
in this City.
The treasurer of the Phoenix Club
is P. E. McCarthy, for years con
nected with the business office of a morn
ing Republican contemporary, but now
engaged in the insurance business.
There are others whose services are
equally important in the management of
a successful club. These are tue several
committees:
The executive committee with its chair- I
man, M. H. Smith, comprises Thomas
McDermott, \V. E. Bates, A. B. Turner, I.
Schwartz, M. 8. Harloe, J. H. Healy, I.
D. Hart and E. C. Paimieri. Under these
auspices the club will make no such thing
as a failure in its task of assisting in the
campaign.
The members of the finance committee
are: D. K. Mullen, M. \N elch, E. M. I
Buckley, F. Haicerman, J. B. Cam obeli, A.
Delatori, Ed Holland and George Bur.zini.
For permanent organization R. R. Duck
worth, E. C. Paimieri and I. D. Hart are
authorized to act as a committee.
The headquarters of the Phoenix Club
are located at Scottish Hall on Larkin
street, opposite the south end of the City
Hall, where weakly meetings will be he!d
on Tuesday nights from now until the
election next November.

tion with Chairman Frank McLanghlin.
Four large rooms on the second floor of
the Palace Hotel have been taken. They
front on the New Montgomery-street side
of the building and are near the corner of
Market street. Besides these rooms a large
parlor on tbe half-floor has been engaged
for an assembly ball. The rooms will be
occupied in three or four days-

"We have a hard fight ahead of us, Dut
we will win it," he said yesterday.

tlays the campaign programme will be
definitely outlined and tbe campaign ma

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1896.
MR. RAINEY IS A
VERY BUSY BOSS,
He Is After the Junta's
Compaign Committee
• Now.
ALARMED BY HIS POWER
He Is Expected to Force a Meet
ing of the General Com
mittee Soon.
FIGURING ON REORGANIZATION
How the Rainey - Daggett • Lanigan
Combine Captured the State Cen«
tral Comnr.tteemen.
Th« condition of the Junta is critical
just now, with Rainey and Lanigan act
ively feeding 011 its insidesaud the organi-
zation is full of alarm and wonder at what
may happen pretty soon.
Having secured control of a majority of
the general committee through the re
cent partnership with Lanigan, Rainey is
i now straining every nerve to capture the
I campaign committee of twenty, whifch was
supposed to be absolutely Rainey-proof
when it was appointed by Chairman Sulli
van. Eddie Greaney and other able lieu
tenants are manipulating every. lnfluence
that can be brought to bear on members
of the committee. The Raineyites claim
to surely have seven of the. committee and
four more are needed. '
It is understood throughout the organi
zation thnt if the Rainey-Daggett-Lani
gan combination can capture the campaign
committee, which was endowed with ab
solute powers by their enemies, they will
simply assume direction of things and let
the machine stand as it is. It would be
more politic and arouse less comment and
opposition to thus gently slip into con
trol without making any revolutionary
disturbance.
But if the capture of the campaign com
mittee is not accomplished soon the Rainey-
Lanigan programme is to call a meet
ing oi the general committee, amend the
constitution so as to do away with the
campaign committee and substitute some
neve committee, which they can create
themselves.
So there is a general expectation that
within a week or two Chairman Sullivan
will receive a petition for a meeting signed
by tifty members of the general commit
tee, which, under the constitution, will
force a meeting. Any move of that sort
will precipitate the fierce battle which is
bound to come, if there is any sustained
effort to keep the Junta machine going,
and that battle will result in the route
of McNab, Sullivan, Hassett, Popper,
Braunhart, Hughes and the reinor lights
of the "decent" element which have
sought to get control of the local party.
No definite moves toward a reorganiza
tion of the party which will unite it have
yet appeared, but reorganization is in the
local Democratic air, and both factions
iire anticipating it and putting themselves
in position to win as much as possible of
the new machine.
Whenever and however this reorganiza
tion comes the Buckleyites and the
Raineyites will easily agree in roost dis
tricts on a programme tnaf will leave
McNab, Braunhart, Popper, Sullivan,
Hassett, Hughes and their kind out in the
cold alone. Reorganization must come
through a primary to which both fac ions
will agree to submit, and at a fair primary
the gentlemen mentioned will have about
as much chance to elect anybody or be
elected themselves to the new county
committee as to be elected President of
th-- Dniten States. The practical district
politician on both sides agree on this
feature oi the programme.
The way the Rainey-Lanigan combina
tion captured the State Central Commit
teemen from San Francisco is an exponent
of the situation in the Junta. Before the
State Convention the McNab element was
sure of its State Central Committeemen
and conceded three members of the com
mittee to Rainey, Dageett and Lanigan,
with two or three more doubtful. When
the eighteen State Central Committeemen
were chosen the "decent" element was
found to have three and two are doubtful-
This result was largely due to Mr. Lani
gan,'who made the State Central Commit
tee his especial business at Sacramento.
The combination with Lanigan was made
primarily with a view to keeping State
Central Committeemen out of the hands
of the MuNaO element. Lanigan had the
balance of power in several districts and
Rainey thought it was better toilet Lani
gan have some plums than to let them fall
into the hands of the enemy.
So it was that Max Popper was beaten
in the Thirty-sixth District and E. P.
Mogan, the Police Court clerk and close
friend of Lanigan, elected. In this dis
trict the Rainey-Lanigan delegates lacked
one of a majority, and that ono was se
cured through tue influence of T. J.
Clunie with one of the delegates. Popper
had gone out to fight Clunie for the Con
gressional nomination two weeks before
and all at once it came Clunie's way to
get bact at Popper by accomplishing his
defeat for the State Central Committee.
The Rainey-Lanigan victory in this
field was the more striking from the fact
that the "inside," which named fifty-three
delegates at large, played what they
thought was a "cinch" Dy arbitrarily ap
portioning these delegates at large among
the districts so as to make needed major
ities in the district delegations secure.
But after all the sure-thing work of the
McNab element they were routed by the
clever work of people who do politics as
practical politics should be done.
Now the Raineyites figure that if it
should happen that the State Central Com
mittee should try to take a hand in the
local situation they will have a good-sized
bunch of friends in ihe committee. The
Buckleyites are likewise counting on
friends from Los Angeles, Orange, Solano,
Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and other counties,
and if the Raineyites and Buckleyites come
to any agreement about dividing things
they will be in a position to get about
what they want.
The reorganization of 1896 will be a
wholly different affair from that of 1892.
WERE QUIETLY WEDDED,
Miss Harper United to the Eld
est Son of Judge W. T.
Wallace
Miss Patterson and Sidney Alison,
the Popular Insurance Man,
Quietly Married
Richard Wallace, eldest son of Judge
and Mrs. William T. Wallace, and Miss
Jeanette Harper, prominently connected
with the publ c schools of this City, were
married Wednesday evening at the resi
dence of the bride's aunt, Mrs. S. Greer,
322 Hyde street. Although no formal an
nouncement of the engagement of the
happy couple was made, the fact of the
marriage leaked out and society- was more
than usually interested in the event.
No elaborate preparations were made
for the happy affair, which was character
ized by simplicity and an entire absence
of all ostentation and formality.
In the parlor where the ceremony was
performed roses, palms and cordons of
Bmilax gave to the apartment a festive ap
pearance. In the bay-window swung a
handsome marriage bell, and it was here
the happy couple stood while Rev. Dr. I
Hemphill read the marriage ceremony
that made them man and wife.
Miss Sarah Harper, the bride's sister,
was maid cf honor. Judge Coffey of
ficiated as best man and ex-Supervisor
Burling, an old lriend of the Harpers,
gave the bride inio the Keeping of the
groom.
Carrie Purcell, Mildred Nelson and
Ruby Canham, three little pupils of the
bride, led the bridal procession, strewing
flowers along the path of the newly
wedded couple.
The bride, who is a tall and handsome
brunette, loosed extremely lovely in her
elegant bridal gown. It was fashioned of
cream brocaded satin and trimmed with
old point lace, the gift of the bride's aunt.
The bridal veil was fastened to the coiffure
by a spray of orange blossoms and a sun
burst of diamonds and pearls, the gift of
the groom.
Miss Harper, the bride's sister, wore a
very elegant gown of pink satin. The
corsage and jupe were elaDorately trimmed
with point applique.
Only the immediate relatives of both the
contracting parties and a limited number j
of intimate friends, in all about thirty
guests, witnessed the ceremony.
Mr. avid Mrs. Wallace will left yesterday
for an extensive bridal tour that will em
brace a stay at Monterey and a visit to the
Var'ous fashionable resorts.
Miss Lizzie Patterson, youngest daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Patterson, and
Sydney Allison of the New England Lite
Insurance Company were quietly married
Wednesday at the residence of the oride's
parents, iH'22 Greenwich street, Rev. Dt
Freedereich of the Fourth Congregational
Church officiating. The decorations of
the home were simple and artistic. No
set arrangement was adhered to. Choice !
blossoms filled- bowls and vases, and ferns \
and smllax formed a pretty background.
The bride was attended by her sister,
Miss Maymee Patterson, who officiated as
maid of honor, and Drew Harrigan was
best man.
The bridal gown was of white silk and
trimmed with knuts of white satin ribbon
and lace.
Miss Pattison, the maid of honor, wore !
a pretty gown of pale green silk, trimmed I
with lace.
Only the immediate relatives of he con
tracting parties witnessed the c >remony
and partook of the bridal supper which
followed.
Mr. and Mrs. Allison left yesterday morn
ing on a bridal tour, keeping their destina
tion a profound secret On their return
they will occupy their new home on
Tuylor street.
NEWER CITY HALL.
The North End Improvement Associa
tion Katify the Awarding of
the Plan*.
A meeting of the North End and
Kearny-street Improvement Association
took place at the old Y. M. C. A. Hall on
Butter street last evening. The object of
the meeting was to ratify the action of
the Board of Supervisors in awarding the
plans of the new municipal building to be
erected on the 9ite of the old City Hall.
Chairman John Shirley of the associa
tion called the gathering to order and
stated that this was an assemblage of
North Kearny-street business men, whose
object was to turn the tide of progress and
prosperity bacK to its old starting point.
He referred to the proposed erection of
the new building, which is to cost $300,000,
which, he said, will cause a change in the
North End.
He spoke of the excellent work of Su
pervisors Wagner and Benjamin in getting
the appropriation for the great building.
Both of the Supervisors were present and
addressed the meeting.
George D. Shadbufne said that Market
street, with its lofty values and towering
rents, would not always stand trie strain
ana that capitalists were even now buy
ing up the depreciated property along
Kearny street. Real estate, he said, had
increased in value in the North End fully
one-third since it became known that the
new municipal building was to be erected.
Eunene Dupray, Supervisor Hirsh and
others addressed the meeting in the same
tenor, and predicted that within a year
the new building would be finished.
The following resolutions were unani
mously adopted : .
Whereas, The plans and specification! lor
the building of the new municipal building on
the Old City Hall site having been finally
awarded to Architects Shea & Shea, at the last
meeting of the Board of Supervisors, and,
whereas the awarding of the said plans and
specifications will be of incalcutble value not
only to the property-owners, business men and
residents of this sectiou of the City, but to the
labor: ne men, artisans and mechanics as well;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the North End and Kearny
street Improvement Association, in public
meeting assembled at "i oung Men's Christian
Association Hal!, on Thursday evening, Jttne
25, 1896, speaking for its members in par
ticular aud its 6000 FUpporters in general, do
hereby most sincerely express their heartfelt^
thanks to the members of the Board of Super
visors, who by their voles caused the deadlock
in the board to be broken and the awarding of
tbe plans which will undoubtedly create a re
vival of business and a better feeling among
the people interested and doiug business in
the north end.
Resolved, That this association desires to
most emphatically express its earnest and sin
cere thanks to Supervisors Edward L. Wagner
and C. E. Benjamin in particular, and also to
Sunervisois King, Scully, Hirsoh, Dimond
and Hobbs, for their loyal and unselfish devo
tion on our behalf; and oe It
Resolved, That thisassociation hereby pledges
it support and influence to these Supervisors
for any position or emolument to which they
may aspire irrespective of our individual
politics.
Resolved, That Supervisors Wagner and Ben
jamin be hereby elected honorary members,
and the secretary of this association is hereby
instructed to send an expression of our
thanks to the above-named Supervisors.
Resolved, That this association sorely depre
cates the unmanly and treacherous action of
Supervisor Taylor in deserting our cause at
a most critical time, which ho did by leaving
the board room while the resolution awaraiug
the plans were being read.
Saohud, Tiiat his action was absolutely iu
excusab'.e, and this association severely con
demns the same.
President Shirley then appointed the fol
lowing judiciary committee to supervise
i he affairs of the association: George D.
Shadborue, Daniel Rogers, W. D. Bodti3h.
Hit With a Hammer.
William Walker, a boy employed at the Rls
don Iron Works, threw a bucketful of water
upon Charles Ilertzog, another boy employed
there, yesterday afternoon. As they knocked
off work Ilertzog called Walker to account for
drenching him and Walker throw a five
pound hammer at him, which struck him on
tbe head knocking Mm down. Ilertzog was
taken 10 the Receiving Hospital and it is
thought his skull has been fractured. Walker
was arrested last night by Policeman T. L.
Ryan and charged with assault with a deadly
weapon.
Thrown From His Wagon.
William Brooks, a teamster living at 722
Clementina street, was thrown from his wagon
at Markot and Front streets last evening and
one of the wheels pursed over his right leg,
bruising it. He was also cut about the head.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital.
